Some Bowls

[Pat]

Occasionally I get myself organised enough to actually complete some things, instead of navel gazing or pondering the world that we live in . . .

Pics 1 to 4 is a Mango (?) spalted bowl, which MBGitW has taken for her own:U

Pic 5 is a Silky Oak platter for a mate, finished in DO. One question is DO safe for kiddies with severe peanut allergies?

Pic 6 is another Silky Oak platter, finish is Shellawax Glow, cut with EEE, but I can see some maring inside the bowl section. How do I fix that?

Pic 7 is White Oak freshly cut and watered to show the grain. I will use some of these for Knife Scales.

Nice work Pat :2tsup: that spalting looks great almost a figure in it

photo 6 maring use a spray bottle wet mist and sand with a slurry might help

Noice!

That's the first time I've seen blue spalting through Mango that wasn't just... BLAH. :puke:

DO should be perfectly safe for a peanut allergy... but with some of the weird mixes being sold as DO I can't claim that as a fact. I'd feel quite safe in letting them use it but would still keep a close watch the first few times, if ya know what I mean?

Mango is always full of surprises! That bowl is a very pretty shape. I like the platter too and the other one.

Ray, the Oak is straight off the bandsaw. Didn't think of reaching for the block plane :doh:

John, now that you mentioned it, Shrek is there:U

Thanks Skew, I use OrganOil Old Style DO. I'll contact them for verification.

Liz, my wife saw it and said much the same thing. Now it has pride of place on the Coffee Table, that I made:cool:
